JOHANNESBURG - A new generation of Springboks is bringing fresh energy to the national setup.
Their enthusiasm has been impossible to ignore, pushing standards higher and challenging established stars.
Captain Siya Kolisi says the youngsters have been a welcome addition to the squad. And it's yet another reminder of the talent pipeline driving South African rugby forward.
"The energy they bring to the team is really amazing," Kolisi said.
"When we were training with the under 20s group the intensity was really high because they are fearless and they don't know what the limit is. It was really good for us as a team. It's really been exciting and going well."
